An air conditioner is a sealed system — refrigerant doesn't get consumed like gas in a car. If your system keeps running low, there's a leak somewhere. Topping it off without fixing the source is like adding air to a tire with a nail in it.
Our Leak Check & Repair service locates the leak, repairs it whenever possible, and recharges your system to factory specs — so you're not paying for the same problem year after year.
- Locate the refrigerant leak
- Repair the leak whenever possible
- Recharge to factory specifications
- Full system performance check before we leave
What a Leak Repair Typically Costs
Many refrigerant leak repairs run around $800 plus refrigerant — a one-time fix that stops the cycle. Compare that to topping off the charge every season at $200–$400 a visit, while the compressor quietly wears down.
"Every situation is different — the final cost depends on where the leak is, what the repair requires, and the type and amount of refrigerant your system needs. We'll give you a straight answer before any work begins."
— Brett, Chilly Dog HVAC
Our Philosophy
We Try to Repair It Before We Replace It
Many HVAC systems that get condemned as "too old to fix" can actually be repaired for a fraction of the cost of a new unit. We've seen it time and again — homeowners pressured into $8,000–$15,000 replacements when a $400 repair would have done the job.
At Chilly Dog HVAC, we give you an honest diagnosis first. If repair makes sense, we'll repair it. If replacement truly is the right call, we'll tell you why — with no pressure and no games.

What Customers Say
Google Reviews
"Brett is an extreme breath of fresh air in an environment of deception. We called 6 local businesses. Because there was a leak, the first 5 all immediately determined we needed a complete new system. The quotes ranged from 7,200K to 17,500K. Brett arrived at 4:30 pm, worked until 11:30 pm and fixed three leaks including removing, repairing and reinstalling the coils from the air handler. He also indicated that are system is actually in pretty good shape for it's age, compared to what he often sees out in the field. Needless to say, it's been over a week and our AC system works better than ever. Brett solved our problem for a small fraction of what the other technicians were quoting. Call Brett before any one else. He will speak The Truth. Joe Mirabella, Melbourne Beach"
"Cannot say enough great things about them! Our AC went out in the office and we called another company for repairs. The other company told us we needed a whole new commercial unit. We called Chilly Dog for a second opinion. Brett came out quickly and looked at our unit and found that one of the girls in the office forgot to take the plastic off the filter and it got sucked into the unit. Very honest and reasonably priced."
"Excellent work very professional and a great individual. Well trusted and would recommend him every time thanks for your work Brett"
